Deep Link Architect Protocol

Deep linking is notoriously fragile. A missing trailing slash, a cached apple-app-site-association file, or a misconfigured Intent Filter can break user flows. This skill treats deep linking as a cross-platform architectural feature, not just a couple of configuration files.

Core principle: A deep link must always resolve gracefully, whether the user has the app installed or not, and regardless of the platform.

Workflow

1. Define the routing schema (Domain, Paths, Parameters)
2. Architect iOS Universal Links (`apple-app-site-association`, Entitlements)
3. Architect Android App Links (`assetlinks.json`, Intent Filters)
4. Design the Fallback Strategy (App not installed / Desktop)
5. Generate a testing checklist
